Title: Pedals deadals Post by: TX-EcoDragon on May 08, 2003, 12:07:09 am Well as luck would have it, here it is my time off and my rudder pedals are toast. A few days ago the left toe brake dies, no biggie for the time being I thought. . I just mapped it to the right. . . .well, now my calibration centerpoint is random, sometimes im holding left rudder for torque and p-factor (and you know I wouldnt be caught dead in one of them soviet numbers) and it spikes to full defflection randomly. I am going to try to talk to fry;s in the morning. . but I think at this point its factory warranty time. I wrote CH two days ago and no reply as of yet. :-(
Title: Re: Pedals deadals Post by: TX-Rahman on May 08, 2003, 07:14:30 am Sorry to hear that EMU!! I had an old gameport CH throttle die a month back and had to bite the bullet and buy a new shiny USB one. Love the new throttle....even though it's the same, I can actually program it now!!!

Title: Re: Pedals deadals Post by: TX-Rahman on May 08, 2003, 12:54:11 pm VGS! $225...OMG....B~TX-Rahman"BLUE 2"

Title: Re: Pedals deadals Post by: TX-OkieCop on May 09, 2003, 08:39:19 am Holy jamoly, I think I paid around $70 for my force feedback joystick....and felt guilty for that.LOL
Title: Re: Pedals deadals Post by: TX-Deck on May 09, 2003, 09:01:01 am LMAO!Honestly, the throttle Rahman is talking about ran me about $10 for both a throttle and stick off of ebay. Older (way older) CH models, gameport only, USB hadn't been invented yet. I think I paid more on shipping than the hardware was worth. At least he got a little bit of use from it.Good luck Eco, if CH or Fry's doesn't come thru for you, I will be glad to help you locate replacement POTS if you think that might solve the issue.TX-Deck out.

Title: Re: Pedals deadals Post by: LW_Tornado on May 10, 2003, 12:28:00 pm Bummer bro, but if you have the reciept and its not to old, Fry's may hook you up. My stick went south a while back, was 5 months old and they just told me to go get anotheroff the shelf
Title: Re: Pedals deadals Post by: TX-Deck on May 10, 2003, 12:59:40 pm So maybe he'll go to Fry's, get a box off the shelf and have the new joystick die after 5 months? Is that what you meant?:PTX-Deck out.
Title: Re: Pedals deadals Post by: LW_Tornado on May 10, 2003, 05:43:22 pm Um , not quite, was meaning maybe theyll replace it fro free ? Just a thought lol.TX-Tornado
